Check Your Halloween Lights
Nothing says Halloween like a house glowing with orange and purple lights! But overloaded sockets and damaged wires can quickly turn a festive display into a nightmare.
Tips:
-
Use lights certified for indoor or outdoor use.
-
Don’t overload extension cords or outlets.
-
Replace frayed or broken wires immediately.
Remember: a flickering light is spooky—but not in a good way!
Keep Decorations Away from Heat
Candles in pumpkins look amazing, but open flames near wires or dry decorations are a fire hazard.
Safer Alternatives:
-
Use LED candles or battery-operated lights.
-
Keep cords and decorations away from curtains, carpets, or anything flammable.
Don’t Trip Over Cords
Halloween is prime time for excited trick-or-treaters. Long cords across walkways are a serious trip hazard.
Solutions:
-
Use cable covers or tape cords down securely.
-
Consider battery-operated decorations instead of plugging in multiple cords.
Outdoor Safety is a Must
Rain, damp leaves, and electricity don’t mix. Make sure outdoor decorations are safe:
-
Use outdoor-rated lights and plugs.
-
Keep plugs off the ground if possible.
-
Inspect for water damage or exposed wires before plugging anything in.
